There were no changes in lung function or respiratory symptoms. In the 50 mg treatment group sputum neutrophils and elastase were reduced compared to baseline and free DNA reduced compared to placebo. Blood levels of fibrinogen, CRP, and CXCL8 were increased in the same group.

Safety:

This multinational Phase 2 safety and tolerability study randomized one hundred forty-six adult subjects with CF to receive either SB-656933 20 mg or 50mgs or placebo once daily for 28 days. SB-656933 was generally well tolerated with a similar number of adverse events reported in all treatment groups. The most frequent AE and drug-related AE reported across all groups was headache.
